2 weeks off bipolar meds
Nov 07 2009 14:52

Well I am almost 2 weeks off meds and I have to say I feel great.  I am exercising regularly.  Eating great.  Lots of goal oriented tasks - especially since finding this site.  I am sleeping pretty well.  I night wake around 3 but can go back to sleep with out any meds.  I do still take my benedryl before bed.  Out of habit really.  I have been on them for years.  I have been exercising regularly for a week.  I was stalled at 140 but finally lost 1.5 lbs today.  It has motivated me tremendously.  Though today I am eating well, exercising, cleaned the house, have had time with Jim, been to town.  Alot for someone who used to spend her entire Saturday in bed!  I am doing all these things but I am starving all the time.  I think it is my body adjusting to all of this.  It is tempting to give in but I really want to be down 5 lbs by thanksgiving so that is what I keep telling myself.
